Little over two years ago, I came across an old news article.

It was about an old, unsolved murder that I had never heard of in a tiny Indiana town

that I had only ever passed on my way to somewhere else.

When I reached out to the victim's daughter on Facebook, I had no idea that I would spend

the next two years of my life living and breathing this case, dumping every resource I had into

solving it.

But that's precisely what happened.

I pulled in one of our reporters, Emily, and basically made this her full-time job.

But even in the early days, I didn't know what this was.

We didn't set out to make a whole series about this case.

But the more we dug in, the more secrets we uncovered.

And the more secrets we uncovered, the more holy shit moments we had.

Because not only does this 38-year-old cold case have what it needs to get solved literally tomorrow.

But the person responsible may have been hiding in plain sight all along.

Over the course of this series, I'm going to take you along as we hit the backroads of

Argus, Indiana looking for evil truths, the kind that you never expect to find in small

Midwestern towns.

And I'll take you along as we uncover facts that have never been reported.

Until now.

This is the untold story of Darlene Hulse, the four of hearts from Indiana.

I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is The Deck Investigates.

This is Episode 1. Take a bath.
